Going all in on these picks. I seriously doubt I have a losing weekend, but if I do I guess my gambling career wasn't meant to be.

Kansas -1


LSU-2

OHIO ST +3

I am just curious, did you happen to look at the other 49 games this week? I am not saying you have bad plays; but I AM saying there are better games if you really are going make to the biggest bets of you life.... IMHO

I AM saying, why go all in at all?  no offense, but sounds like a plan for failure.  try betting 10% of your roll.

All in because I have never felt so confident.  I would be shocked if I got swept and even if I went 1-2. I see nothing but profit this weekend in these picks.

IMO...How could you possibly go ALL-IN on the OSU-PSU matchup that game is going to be very tough for OSU. Could easily be a blowout. PSU has alot of talent and speed would be very hard for me not to take them, 31-20 PSU

Are you a penn state homer? I'm guessing you are with that eagles avatar. I have watched both these teams play live in the last few weeks and I feel great about getting 3 in Columbus. Penn St hasn't won here since 1978....

Are you an Ohio St. homer?  Penn St. wins this,but it WILL be close, and there are better games on the board, but it's pretty apparent that you are both homers and want action on your team while you watch...junkies......GL to all.

Actually I am a Wisconsin alum, so I am far from a Buckeye homer. I hate this teams guts. I follow the Big 10 religiously and getting 3 points in Columbus is a gift....

GL, but if you ask me, you are doing everything a handicapper can do wrong all at once...
 
first of all, why are you going all in on only 3 games?  if you are going all in on 10 games i wouldn't fault you for it... but 3?  that suggests you are chasing earlier losses and have lost your patience and discipline, which is exactly what the books want you to do...
 
second, you are going all in on 3 games that are virtual toss ups in every way... and in all 3 games one could make a strong case that you are betting on the inferior team either as a favorite or as a small dog... this is the time of year you need to be betting superior teams in those roles... there is no question that Penn St is the superior team, and little doubt that Tex Tech is superior to Kansas... the only game where you possibly have the better team is LSU, but even that is somewhat debatable...
 
like i said, good luck, but i hope other people are realizing that this is what NOT TO DO in handicapping...

Your right. I have been on a monster tear recently in football and poker. I have many bodog cashout checks on the way, which hopefully are here by christmas. Playing with the houses money a little and seeing what happens. Won't be too upset if I lose as it feels like monopoly money on there b/c of how long it takes to cash out. I stay disciplined with my local and that will not change.

well then, i guess if you are just taking a gamble with house money, can't argue with that... would be a shame to give too much of it back, but then again, would be nice to double up!

IM I dont know why you could easily lose all three GL though I dont like Kansas at all there wins are pretty much against high school teams beside V tech. Ohio state could easily lose to penn State and georgia is a very good team and Florida exposed LSU. I say the only inner is Ohio State maybe

Good luck bud!
 
I hope a few more referees help out LSU on defense...they need to learn from these zebras on how to hit-stick and set the tone.
